dodges arent bad. theyre pretty reliable. if you are looking for something kinda sporty, consider a dodge neon srt-4(plz dont call it a neon. also there are other trims available for the neon.) also consider the magnum. its a decent car and it has enough room to haul the whole family. both get respectable gas mileage. the srt-4 can also be modified for drag racing(without going overboard) if your into that sort of thing. mopar makes parts for your car(duh) either way good luck with your decision
